Misericorde I - As The Flesh Falls

(album: Exul - 2023)

Foresight finite
Praised angels, as the flesh falls
War from within
Within

'Neath armour, this withered skin
Righteous and malignant
This poisoned pale
Glorious putrefaction

Pray gauntlets in gleam
Wielding lights and lies
Blessings of disease
Life's embrace

Blessings of disease
Life's embrace

Malaise concealed, my shell
Of denial and dissonance
Darkest greys
Into the fray

Glancing of blades, the carbon tongues
Dance of crippled rebellion

Eyes inflamed by light
Praised angels, as the flesh falls
War from within
Within

Life defiled faithless
Befouled, betrayed
Hand in hand on hilt
Madness divine reason

Fleeting peace
Preordained
The struggling
Waning war cry
A painted shield
My decaying portrait
Foreseen, my limned last days

Shedding armour, unfurled wings
Failing, alone
Hail desolation
